The link does point to the source. To get the compiled package, enable the testing repo in Gslapt, update the package list with Gslapt, and Inkscape 0.47 will show up in testing. Click on 0.47 and then Execute.--GrannyGeek

By default, Inkscape does not embed imported images. There is an option to embed imported JPG and PNG images in the Extensions menu, Images, Embed Images. However, this won't work unless you have the lxml package installed.

The inkscape 0.47 package doesn't pull down this package. I think it would be nice if it did because I think many users would like to have this option whether or not they use it much.--GrannyGeek

I see what you mean, but lxml is not a dependency that require to build inkscape. Including lxml or other "optional" packages it seem will bloated the system. But I did try to repackage inkscape with lxml installed, but it did not enlist lxml as an dependency....anyone know how to do it?I have attached my slackbuild..
